A US technology company is to create 200 new jobs in Ireland.
Diligent Corporation is to establish new international offices in Galway, which will serve as its European hub.
It plans to create the jobs locally across several business functions - including customer support, customer success, finance, product, HR and marketing.
The New York-based company's investment in Galway is supported by the Irish Government through IDA Ireland.
Brian Stafford, CEO of Diligent, said: "With our new international office in Galway, Diligent is making a critical investment to accelerate our growth strategy and attract exceptional talent to our team.
"The key to our continued success is great people who are committed to our mission of providing clients with insights and technology to power modern governance.
"The excellent talent available in the Galway community will support the nearly 50% of our client base located outside of the US, enabling us to enhance the customer experience and achieve our long-term goals.
"We are very pleased to establish this cross-functional office in Ireland and to be in the good company of many thriving tech companies."
Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise Leo Varadkar said: "This is great news for Galway.
"By choosing to establish their European hub in the county, Diligent Corporation can look forward to accessing a rich pool of talent to fill these 200 jobs this decision will create.
"I wish them the very best with the development and hope they continue to build on their relationship with Ireland."
